If they sold it, it'd be in name only, as the car itself is already outdated and anyone who bought it would likely just build a new "Viper" in their own design.

Actually, and I'm sure some of the older listeners will confirm, Caterham revived the previous series3 Seven rather than the ugly as sin series4. |

Well VW has been buying up brands and putting them on the track (Audi, Lamborghini, etc.) and Porsche owns a good high % of VW, so maybe they can buy the Viper brand and bring it back to where it was in the early part of the century with all their racing experience. Would love to see a competitive Viper back on the track in GT1 or GT2 to give everyone a good run.

Are they losing money on them? They sell all of their allotment, or so I've been told, every year.

I guess they need something to replace the Esperante since the Abruzzi never arrived.
